Any stylist's product back up (and any beauty enthusiast's wardrobe) should include clip-in hair extensions. They're easy to style and care for, and they're becoming increasingly popular among the trendy set. However, there's much more to them then that.
Who Are They For?
Clip Ins are perfect for commitment-phobes, change-lovers, thin-haired ladies, and clientele who are thinking about getting extensions but want to test them out first. Various clip ins are available, including remy clip in hair extensions and Brazilian clip in hair extensions.
How Long Does It Take To Install Clip Ins?
Installing wefts or clips might take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how many you have.
How Do I Install Them?
Like this:
- To decrease oil and increase grip, clean, brush, and dry hair before installing, or use a dry shampoo or texturizing spray. Although clip-in hair extensions are meant to stay in place without backcombing the roots before installation, some women with finer hair may find that doing so helps them stay in place longer. Twist your hair before attaching the clip for added grip.
- Take your first portion at the low occipital and part your hair in a T-shape.
- Use 2 inches above the nape of your neck, make a horizontal portion. Clip the hair above the part to keep it in place.2 inches above the nape of your neck, make a horizontal portion. Clip the hair above the part to keep it in place.
- With the clips facing in, place one of the six-inch sections below the component. The middle clip should be snapped into place first, followed by the two outer clips.
- One inch above the initial row, make another horizontal portion. Hair should be lifted above the portion and secured with clips.
- Place the second six-inch piece underneath the component. Snap the middle clips into place first, then the two outer clips.
- Make a horizontal portion one inch above the second row and secure the hair above it.
- Place the nine-inch piece underneath the component. The center clips should be snapped into place first, followed by the two outer clips.
- Make a horizontal portion one inch above the third row and secure the hair above it.
- Make sure that there are no cracks in your hair.Make sure there are no cracks in your hair.
- Place the seven-inch piece underneath the component. The center clips should be snapped into place first, followed by the two outer clips.
- Part your hair to the side, just next to the top extension in the back.
- Place one of the 12" wefts behind the top extension, just barely overhanging it.
- Take a diagonal back portion, starting a little behind the hairline (to ensure that the extensions are covered).
- Along the part line, add another 12" weft.
- Rep the process on the other side.
- Brush the extensions into position or blend and shape them.
How Do I Remove Them?
Simply unclip each weft by applying even pressure in the middle of the clip while pulling upward from the sides to remove your clip in natural hair extensions. This should only take about 2 minutes in total.
How Do I Care For Them?
Like this:
Brushing
- Brush over the attachments of any hair extension method with the Extension Brush to avoid snagging or pulling the hair. It keeps the extensions tangle-free by distributing the oil from your scalp to the rest of hair.
- Brush your own hair at least twice a day.
- Brush your hair at least twice a day and before washing or wetting it.
- To brush, maintain the links by holding the weft at the roots with one hand. Brush lightly with the other hand, starting at the ends and working your way up to the scalp. To maintain the natural path of the hair, always travel downward.
Coloring
- To get the right match for your client's hair, use the Color Ring.
- Because the hair is 100 percent human, you can color it to your desired level.
- Carry out a strand test.
- Only use semi-permanent or demi-permanent colors.
- Don't lift, just deposit.
- Keep the color within two shades of the original.
- When hair extensions aren't implanted in the hair, they're called color extensions (to prevent color from getting close to the bonds).
- Keep in mind that extensions will darken, dull, and process faster than your natural hair. For a long-lasting effect, you may need to color them more than once.
- Swimming with your extensions on is not a good idea. Swimming with your hair extensions in saline or chlorinated water might cause dryness and color change due to mineral buildup.
- Make sure there's no self-tanner on the hair extensions.

Styling
- Only use sulfate-free products.
- For best results, use salon-quality products.
- Washing, curling, blow drying, straightening, and processing extensions are all options.
- When feasible, use a heat protectant, low heat settings, and avoid heat styling and chemicals.
- All heat and product should be kept away from the bonds. Only the midshaft is in good condition.
- Don't relax or perm your hair, especially if it's blond.
Storing
- Sleeping in the extensions is not a good idea.
- Before storing your hair, brush it.
- To keep them from becoming tangled or soiled, put them in their original packaging or in a bag or box.
- Before storing them, consider braiding them.
- Once the hair is completely dried, preserve it.
Washing
- It takes longer for extensions to dry than regular hair.
- Remove them before washing them.
- Wash them every 3-4 times you use them, or 2-3 times every week.
- Use Dry Spray Shampoo between washes to absorb excess oil and maintain hair looking and feeling clean.
- Only sulfate-free products are allowed.
- For best results, use salon-quality products.
